Good morning, since updating to Sept 25 version a handfull of my dashboards have refused to run on scheduled refreshes throwing the error "[0] -1056178104: The CurrentCatalog XML/A property was not specified." The dashboards in question all connect to the same sql server as they used to and the excel sources havent changed in any way, some reports are working fine some not. Theres not much on the internet regarding this error specifically in PBI on prem, i've tried a few fixes such as trusted servers, clearing permissions and relogging data sources and still no progress. I've got a version of this report in a PBI personal workspace (Cloud) and that exact same version refreshes just fine. Any ideas? ThanksSolved2.3KViews0likes4CommentsMeasure as a slicer
I have three tables in my Power BI model: Sales Order Fact Order Date Customer All these tables are properly connected. I’ve created a few DAX measures based on them: Number of Customers with Order amount > $100 Number of Customers with Order amount ≤ $100 The amounts are grouped Year-to-Date (YTD). So if the user selects August, the total amount is calculated from January 1st to August 31st. All calculations are working correctly. However, I now need to create a slicer to allow users to filter between "> $100" and "≤ $100". This is where I'm stuck. I created a measure-based flag, but I have to manually apply the filter to each visual — and this report has many visuals. Also, I’m unable to apply the measure as a filter on Card visuals, which is a limitation. Is there any alternative approach to creating a slicer that dynamically filters visuals based on "> $100" or "≤ $100" orders? Expected output The Customer table contains fields such as Name, Address, and customer Number. The Order Date table is a standard date dimension with fields like Order Date and Month, Year. The Sales Order Fact table includes details like Order Amount, Quantity, and other transaction-level data. The report includes multiple visuals — such as cards, tables, bar charts, and several slicers. I want to implement a filter where: If the user selects "> 100", the report should display data only for customers whose total order amount is greater than $100. If the user selects "≤ 100", the report should show data only for customers whose total order amount is $100 or less. This filter should apply across the entire report to all visuals consistently.Solved1.7KViews1like7CommentsConnection type
Hello, Please, what type of connection should I use choose for opsgenie in Admin center with cluster gateways for cloud PBI ?It should be WebApi or RestApi, but both these types are not included in the list...only Web, and it looks like the classic URl.

Greetings all, I've experimented with the new feature that came with new API and I ran into some issues (see attached image). Has anybody been succesful in implementing a modal dialog? A small example from which I could extrapolate would mean the world to me. 🙂 Thanks in advance, Dusan1.9KViews0likes1CommentDAX code filtering tabled based on selected value (show other values)
Hi all, I have an issues to which I cannot find the solution. I hope someone can help me out. I've created an example dataset to explain the problem: customers order food and drinks in a restaurant. They can order multiple types of food and drinks during 1 visit. Here is a sample of 5 different customers with their orders: I can edit this table to make it a one record per customer list: Now what I would like to know is when I select one item in a slicer/filter, what are the other most ordered items per type (food/drinks) based the customers that ordered the selected item? Example: I select as item Fries. Customer B, C and E ordered Fries. During the same order, they also ordered other food and drink items. I want to count the number of times the other items were ordered to see which item is most often ordered together with fries. This is what I would like to see then: My thoughts were to first create new DIM table with the type and item combinations (a food and drinks list) which can then be used for the filter. I can create a relationship between the new DIM table and the FACT table in the model view so that I can filter the customers with orders that contain the selected item. Then I somehow need to use this list of selected customers to filter another table (a copy of the original FACT table with all the customers and their order information?) so that I can see the whole order of these customers. And then I can create a visual of the number of items, per type, in which I exclude the selected item. I hope someone can help me out 🙂 Many thanks, AnneSolved1.2KViews0likes5CommentsReport Server does not complete Data Refresh
Hi all, I have the following issue several days ago. When I publish a new report or re-configure the Screduled Refresh for old reports, the Status of Scheduler stucks in "Updating" Status. But the old reports that run and were scheduled 1 month before (without touching them) are working properly (they finish the scheduler correctly). Here some information of my environment: If need some additional information please just let me know. Thanks. Oscar.Solved1.1KViews0likes2CommentsMS Fabric Incremental loading
I need help to understand the best practices for Incremental loading with AZURE and loading into Data Factory. I beleive there is two methods behind my use case but want to understand the route I should take and explore my options Use case: I'm in a smaller organization ( Around 400 people) and we want to build a central location for a reporting platform solution. We use Salesforce and QAD as our ERP. QAD is a little old but we are still able to connect to azure through ODBC. How and what prinicples should I be following for loading data from our ERP enviornment on a incremental cadence? Based off my understadning and knowledge, Should I (1) Use the copy data pipeline and use fucntions/ activities to update the table? how would I scheudle the job? How would this take into account for a heavy volume table? or (2) use notebooks throughout this process and set a datetime column as a water mark value to help with updates? How would I go around this method? I would apprecaite any information on how to handle this and best practices.... I do not have a SQL server available which I know which would help for the control table feature. Any suggestions, thanksSolved6.6KViews0likes1CommentDAX Calculation - HELP
I have this summarized dataset grouped by multiple variables. This is a screenshot of a table I created from the dataset (other variables are being used as slicers), each index point has mulitple rows in the main dataset 2023 is defined as CALCULATE(SUM('Append1'[STARTS]), 'Append1'[COMPYEAR] IN { 2023 }) 2022 is defined as CALCULATE(SUM('Append1'[STARTS]), 'Append1'[COMPYEAR] IN { 2022 }) I wanted to create two seperate measures each for 2023 and 2022 that will take the previous row value and then add it at each step with the current value at that index point, it should look something like this1.1KViews0likes7Comments
